How to remove perennial stains on tiles

Trần Lâm (T/H) |

After a period of use, the brick floor is prone to yellowing, dull and stubborn.

You can completely remove them with available ingredients at home, combined with some simple but effective tips below.

1. Remove stains with vinegar - safe, friendly and easy to apply

Vinegar contains acetic acid - a mild acid that can dissolve dirt, deodorize and kill bacteria. This is the ideal choice to clean long -term stains without using strong chemicals.

Raw materials: pure white vinegar (or regular vinegar); Soft towels or sponge; House mop (if necessary).

Pour vinegar into small bowls, wet towels or sponges. Rub directly on the area with stains, especially bricks or wet areas.

Leave it for 10-15 minutes to deeply penetrate the vinegar and promote the effect.

Wipe clean with wet towels. Can wipe again with warm water to deodorize vinegar.

Note: Do not use vinegar on the surface of natural stone (such as marble, granite) because the acidity can erode the surface.

2. Use gasoline or kerosene

Long -term grease stains, vegetable plastic, glue or chemicals poured on the floor are difficult to clean with normal water. In this case, gasoline or kerosene has the ability to dissolve dirt effectively.

Ingredients: a little gasoline or kerosene; Cotton balls or clean towels; Masks, gloves; Floor cleaning water has a fragrance to deodorize.

Wear gloves, open windows. Use a cotton ball or a small amount of gasoline/kerosene.

Rub directly on the stain to be handled. For stubborn traces, it is possible to absorb for 3-5 minutes.

Wipe it off with wet towels several times. Then, wipe the entire floor with the floor cleaning to deodorize.

Warning: Stay away from heat and fire. Do not use regularly because gasoline/kerosene can affect the gloss of bricks.

3. Use baking soda in combination with hydrogen peroxide

Baking soda is a natural detergent, helping to remove plaque, deodorize. When combined with hydrogen peroxide, the mixture creates an effervescent reaction, helping to break the stain link effectively.

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons baking soda; 2 tablespoons water (to make a thick mixture); Some old oxygen (concentration of 3%); hard brush or old toothbrush.

Mix baking soda and water into a paste. Use a spoon or hand to apply this mixture to the stain or brick area.

Wait about 10 minutes. Then, put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on the newly applied mixture - at this time the surface will be bubbling.

Use a brush to rub in a circular shape, focusing on stains.

Refy with a damp cloth and rinse with warm water.

4. Use specialized detergents

For areas with large areas or floors that are too old, stains are too severe, specialized detergents will save time and bring clear efficiency.

Ingredients: Specialized floor bleach (should choose the type for ceramic tiles, granite, or rough floor depending on the type of bricks used); Rubber gloves, masks; Floor brush, towel.

Read the instructions carefully on the product label. Pour directly or spray the solution on the area to be cleaned.

Wait for 2-3 minutes to infuse the solution and soften the stain. Use a strong scrub brush, then wipe it with a damp towel. Wipe off with water to remove chemical residues.

Note: Do not dilute too much, do not mix different bleaches to avoid dangerous chemical reactions.

5. Tips to maintain long -term clean tile floor

Wipe the floor periodically (at least 1 time/week in the frequently used area).

Use a dry towel or a mop to dry the floor after cleaning, avoid mold.

Limit dragging heavy objects causing scratches of brick surface - this is the place where stains are easy to stick and difficult to clean.

Use a carpet in the toilet door and kitchen to limit dust and grease spread to other areas.
